Chapter 7

Raven hovered several feet above the ground, looking at the tower that was soon to be her's.

She heard a roaring sound behind her and suddenly time slowed to almost a stop, she looked behind her to see three jets breaking formation and just under them were three cylinder like objects heading towards her. She turned and tried to fly away from her previous position, but the bomb seemed to change trajectory to match her's. She realized her efforts were futile and put up a barrier between her and the object, the bomb struck the wall and cast flame and srapnel across it's surface, the shield dissipated because of the strain, but she was still safe from the blast.

"That was close... too close" she muttered to her self.

She then noticed the one about to stride the ground several yards rom her,but it was too late, the bomb exploded and took with it a large part of her army. She felt the shock wave from the blast hit her followed by a sharp pain, she fell to the ground. she looke down to her unprotected leg and saw a good sized peice of shrapnel sticking into her bare flesh.

Raven sat up and removed her shredded charred cloak. She tore a long segment of cloth from the cloak and then ripped the shrapnel from her leg, letting out an aganizing cry. She supressed the pain and wrapped the cloth around her leg

Raven looked up to see the aircraft circle back for another pass, she got back up on her feet and phazed through the ground, she could heal herself inside the tower.

"Confirmed, targts destroyed, making another pass" Echo 2 had said through his comm.

"Same here Highball" Echo 3 had also destroyed his targets.

"Direct hit... Damn, Target intact" Hal said "This girl can take a beating."

"This sucks, our first combat mission and we have to bomb some kid" Echo 2 said

"She did destroy the entire police force, this isn't some run of the mill kid" Echo 3 retorted

"The girl vanished, attacking secondary targets" Hal said, a little annoyed. He tilted the control stick and the plane responded immediately.

Some of the demons on the ground took to the air and went after the Raptors.

"Echo 2 bombs away"

"Echo 1 bombs away"

"Echo 3 bombs away"

The bombs hit their targets with extreme accuracy, blowing the demons to bits.

"Echo 2 evade, they're on you." Hal said to his wingman

"These things can fly?" Echo 2 said "I bet they can't go Mach 2"

The jet accelerated and the group of pursuers struggled to keep up.

"God I love supercruise" Echo 2 said as he looked back to see the enemies on his six slowly shrink in size.

"Don't go super sonic if you don't have to, there are still alot of intact building around here, I don't think the mayor would be happy if he had to replace evry window in the city." Echo 3 said to Echo 2.

"Are those explosions I hear?" Beast Boy said in surprise

"The Air Force is giving us some cover" Cyborg replied "Hang on we're taking off"

The T ship tilted and rocketed out the launch ramp, into the clear blue sky.

"Watch Tower here we come"

The squadron of fighter jets regrouped and returned to formation.

"Lets finish 'em off" Hal said to his wingmen.

"I've got a contact approaching extremly fast, 6 o'clock high" Echo 2 said

Suddenly a grey aircraft flew past the Raptors at an alarming speed.

"Is that a Javelin!" Hal said in disbelief.

The grey aircraft sped toward the island and proceeded to fire 2 missiles at the group of demons approching the hangar.

"Who ever he is he's freindly" Hal said "Destroy remaining targets and RTB"

Raven had just healed the injury that had impeded her progress and proceeded to the hangar, she had searched the rest of the tower and found No one. The elevator door opened and she stepped into the cavernous hangar, she caught a glance of the T ship just as it exited the hangar.

"You can't hide for ever titans" Raven said tauntingly as she stepped back into the elevator.

The T ship exited the hangar and rocketed into the sky.

"Who's that? Beast Boy said as he looked out the cockpit.

The grey aircraft had went into formation just beside the T ship. The Titans could she a dark figure with two sharp protrusions coming from his head.

"Batman?' Cyborg muttered as he looked out his conopy.
